Davefevs Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Super performance, up and back, won his tussles, stood his man up without diving in. What a free transfer. Gonna get some minutes by the looks of it if Dasilva is out for any period of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandhurst Red Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Totally agree. The swiss army knife of the side. Is there anything he can't do? Love his passion - always gives 100%. One of our best signings in the last 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomThumb84 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 I really like Tommy. Great acquisition for the club and possibly long term too as he looks coach material to me. Also a role-model in looking after your body and fitness and should be a figurehead for some of our young guns to look at if they want to play 400-plus games.

Worked really hard at tracking back also, pretty sure this wasn’t what he signed up for, but did it excellently, Nyambe has caused us real problems in the past.

Would much prefer to see him as an out and out 9 though, wasted playing wide because he obviously doesn't enjoy it and he's far more of a threat in and around the box.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Another superb performance from Rowe, but I get used to that now. An absolute model professional he was a definite candidate for MOTM, given to Wells, but then again Nagy, Kalas and Vyner could also join that list. Bakinson and O'Dowda weren't half bad either.

No, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he got offered one. If you’ve met the guy or heard him interview he is a future coach / manager in the making. Intelligent guy.

DH said on radio shins (again) and scan gone off to consultant in London... he seems to have reoccurring issues with shin injuries. DH was quite cagey pre match ( understandable) re this when asked.

GrahamC Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 They said on Sky in midweek that he has already exceeded 450 league games in his career, he is 32 so that is some availability record. Been a superb signing, naturally he is really a left sided midfielder but has played more games for us at LB than Dasilva has in the same period, as well as a couple filling in at LCB & very few actually in midfield.

Rene Gilmartin said both he & Mariappa, who certainly aren’t the tallest for central defenders, both possess good “spring”. If you are old (like me) you remember Donnie Gillies did, too. Someone else who wasn’t tall, but could leap to compensate. Kalas is an interesting one, he isn’t the tallest, not the quickest (though he certainly is not slow), his distribution is good, but not great, but when it all comes together (his reading of defensive situations is excellent) & he gets into a decent run of games, he is a brilliant player.

Top professional. Absolutely - appears an absolute dream of a pro I think me or you Graham could manage a squad of a Tommy Rowes and do ok As much as anything , Ive really enjoyed players like Wilbs , Wagstaff and Rowe at the Club in recent years - so good to see top pros at work , renews my faith in the game I really hope that , like Wilbs , in return Rowe is enjoying every moment , as I guess he didn’t foresee himself fighting at the top end of the Championship at this stage of his career - I think I’m more pleased for him than anyone , thoroughly deserved 24 minutes ago, grifty said: Kalas seems t have learnt how to jump and hang in the air now.

He leaps so high, but sometimes too high as the striker backs into him and he ends up hurting himself on the landing. Didn’t he hurt his shoulder like this?
